Lonely Night_(1)

The wind blew through the night rattling against my window. I looked up at the sky staring endlessly into the darkness thinking to myself, if anyone could be here to hold me, look after me just talk to me I would be happy. Then, I almost fell out of bed hearing a loud banging on the door downstairs. As I made my way downstairs I heard the banging stop realising that whoever was out there must have heard me I called out asking who was at the door. All that I heard in reply were the words. “I need somewhere to stay please let me in out of the rain.” As I finally reached the door I rattled the latches on it slightly moving my hand down to the door knob opening it as I did the mysterious stranger almost fell straight in on top of me as if they were leaning against the door. As I pulled myself up of the ground looking at the dark figured stranger. He stood above me slightly with his dark brown hair wet and slightly ruffled from the wind and rain outside. As he reached back pushing the door shut I watched him turn to face me. His green eyes shimmering as the moonlight reflected off them.

As I patted the last of the dirt off my body I looked at the stranger and offered him something warm to drink. A small grunt came before he responded. “Yes please I would gladly like some.” As words began to leave his lips they sounded almost sepulchral for a moment before the tone averted to a warm, calming, enchanting type of sound. As we sat at my small kitchen table he sipped at his drink of coffee almost slowly drinking it letting the warmth slowly move around his body. We sat at the table for some time talking his eyes never leaving my gaze. After some time I offered him the spare room that was at the other end of the hallway to mine.
